child low cortisol
Hi, I would be very grateful for any advice etc on the following. My 9 year old daughter has had a blood test come back with borderline low cortisone ( that’s what the doctor has described it as). She is waiting for a test but apparently it can take months. The doctor has mentioned Addisons and under

Fibroscan result waiting time?
Please can somebody tell me how long it takes to receive results for a fibroscan? I started this journey in November 2023 after asking for a general check-up at my GP surgery because of some non-liver related issues. I had no awareness at all that my liver could be damaged. After a few rounds of blood

flying with lupus
hello. My husband has been diagnosed with SLE. He has discomfort when he flys in his heart. His cardiologist has said there is nothing wrong with his heart although he has pericarditis…. Which you can fly with… so we think it is a lupus symptom. Does anyone have any similar experiences or tips? Flying

Help with Cortisol test
Hello all, I had a saliva cortisol test done last week. Ive got the results back but with no comments from the clinic. They look okay/normal to me? Apart from the 3rd one? I was expecting them to be low as I thought I was suffering from adrenal fatigue. Could anyone advise me on these levels?

Results query
Hi, In May 2021 I had the intrinsic factor blood test and my results were as follows. 89 u/ml. With a normal range of 0-24 u/ml. And the following notes. The presence of anti intrinsic factor antibodies together with a low vitamin B12 level is diagnostic of pernicious anaemia Does this make sense to

Rash photo.
Newbie here. Not diagnosed with lupus nor Sjogren's, though I do have symptoms of both. I've had this weird rash on the back of my neck, into my hairline for a while now. Any ideas if it could be lupus/Sjogren's related? Many thanks in advance for any replies.

Urolithin A (UA) – To anybody taking, what’s your experience?
Sometimes, I feel gullible for the fleeing by an over-priced, over-hyped supplement. As I understand, UA is produced by bacteria in your gut and without the right bacteria, your gut can’t produce from food. And, maybe the product is more concentrated than what’s produced by bacteria. AI Says: “Urolithin

shrinking lung syndrome
Has anyone else been diagnosed with a rare condition called shrinking lung syndrome. It’s so rare, approximately only 0.5-1.1 % people with Lupus get it. I’m real scared as at time I feel like I’m slowly suffocating! Still getting more tests done to see if diaphragm isn’t partially paralyzed. Did you

Autoimmune neurological B12 deficiency
I came across this fascinating study on an autoimmune condition that results in B12 deficiency selectively in the central nervous system. Cerebrospinal fluid B12 is essentially non-existent but serum levels are normal, making this very hard to detect! https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.08.21.23294253v1

Bad news: prostate cancers doubling by 2040
Bad news on one side, for all the guys that will join the damn club (and the trends say their age is lowering as well....I am an example actually!). On the other side we can hope for an increase of effort to solve the problem, at least for prostate, breast, lung and colorectal cancers, which are quite

Expanded label sought for 177Lu-PSMA-617 in prostate cancer: about time
I have already done the taxane part and I would like to see how 177Lu performs as first line...but this is also interesting, it seems more effective than a change in ARPI in castration resistant setting "Data also showed that a PSA decline of at least 50% was more than 2.5 times more frequent with 177Lu-PSMA
